Famous Artists - Art Movements...

Kelly Mass

This book includes several books about the following topics: 
Age of Enlightenment - Finally… finally, humanity began to wake up. Finally, they decided to take science, knowledge, politics, development, multiple angles and perspectives, and the details of our everyday lives a bit more seriously. For centuries, raw and primal urges and principles had taken hold of conquerors, officials, and governments. 
Renaissance - When we think of the Renaissance, we often think of paintings. And indeed, many painters and sculptors were part of the artistic transformation the Renaissance caused. But there was more. The Renaissance basically formed a period of collective enlightenment and freedoms that put an end to certain tyrannies and false notions from the Middle Ages. 
Claude Monet - Claude Monet has been the icon for the impressionist movement. Painting vague strokes of color and contrast, water, and flowers were typical. Other aspects of the art weren’t as clear but were just as important, nonetheless. 
Pablo Picasso - Picasso’s work is famous. His art is intricate yet bizarre. Many people have stood still over the wonders and simplicity of cubism and surrealism and have either been disgusted or amazed by it. 
Vincent van Gogh - Vincent van Gogh is undoubtedly one of the most influential painters of the end of the 19th century. His style was unique in that he used all types of colors in a painting that didn’t show those colors in reality and somehow, he still made it work and look like an actual shape.  
Michelangelo Buonarotti - Michelangelo had a vision, a dream, and the talent to carry out those imaginations. His life, in our perspective, is a compilation of great works of art, architecture, sculptures, paintings, and intricate movements, contrast, colors, and anatomy of the human body.

Heels Across a Wooden Floor

Mike Blake

Heels Across a Wooden Floor: A Poem / Song lyrics  
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086KTZMKP 
About the eternal pull of love, from a dancing perspective.  
Imagine walking into a nightclub, and seeing the woman of your dreams skipping across 
the dance floor; elegantly, with heels that she uses to swivel and cavort in an organic  
fashion. Enticing you to join, even if you can't dance, at least with your eyes. 
And to the women, giving over to an abduction of your senses into the realms of the  
dance, urging you to join in that sensual celebration.
